The second edition of The Quibbler, our new magazine which prints “all the news you won’t find anywhere else,” is hot off the presses and ready to be viewed. This brand new issue can be read right here. A small diagram of the controls which show how to navigate the issue is also available via this link. This edition contains an expose on the phenomenon that is wizard rock, a fresh batch of letters to the editor, Luna’s exclusive love life advice, a shocking new report on global swarming, and a page three girl Aberforth would be proud of.

But I read this “Show us your Galleons and we show you our hooters” sign rofl

ps “Duz you liek me?” was great as well xD

To read flash you’ll need to use the directions here http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/static_images/quibbler/quibbler_screencap.png. Complete with screencaps, this will help you if you are new to flash formats. Enjoy everyone!

I’m sorry, even with the directions I find this format QUITE ABSOLUTELY MADDENING. Difficult to navigate, difficult to follow. I’m doing it right—I just really can’t stand it.

Can’t we have a REGULAR PDF? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE???

says:

what’s maddening is that the page doesn’t stay static, you can’t SCROLL—you have to “grab” it and move it around, makes me dizzy and it’s just REALLY hard to work with. Very irritating! Who thought up this annoying format??

says:

Oh yes, we are working on a pdf version right now.—I agree that the dragging to move is a bit wearisome-takes some getting used to, but for some folks, depending on their computer systems, it is just impossible. We hope to have a static version soon. Sorry for the delay in that.

says:

I don’t know why I got a strike through on that last post. It was not intentional

says:

oh, me too, I really don’t like this format! It’s just so difficult to read and fiddly to control. Why can’t we have it in a PDF?

says:

The pdf is on its way. Those behind the magic of getting it up here ;-) are working on getting it up in that format too, I believe.

If I understood it correctly there’s one thing the pdf will not provide, and that’s the moving wizarding ads. It’s too much of a muggle technology, to allow movements, unless wordsaremagic and Rudius will be able to Charm it spectacularly.

says:

Special thanks to all you Leaky staffers who are working towards the pdf for the Quibbler. You all do a great job with this site, and fans like myself are very appreciative of all your efforts!

says:

Sorry, it is completely unuser friendly.

says:

I had no trouble with it- just some of the fonts are difficult to read (like Mundungus’), but it is very amusing all the same!

says:

Sorry for the delay, folks, but the PDF version is finally up on the server, and a link is available just underneath the link to the online version.

says:

Yay! Hey folks, don’t blame Rudius Hagrid for the delay in the pdf version. The email server was having trouble transferring some very large files he needed from me.

Mea culpa

says:

Oh, and the link Rudius is talking about is at http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/fun/quibbler

says:

JUST FLOO IT.

says:

YAY!!! I love THE QUIBBLER!

says:

this is awesome!!! i haven’t seen this before but it’s amazingggg (:

says:

Another excellent edition of Quibler. Luna! We all love Luna.

And yes, the Flash is rather inconvenient to navigate. It works for me, but the .pdf is easier to use.

And where DID you find that font that ‘Dung uses?

Keep ‘em coming.

AAAAGGGGHHHH!!! That very loud noise you heard earlier was the sound of me banging my head against my desk in frustration.

Sorry, Leaky staff, I love you dearly, and I adore the idea of The Quibbler. But until you guys can get it in PDF format, I’m going to have to pass. The current format is just too maddening for me.

says:

LOL wow, this is sooo cute! You guys are awesome, haha. :D

says:

I commented about this earlier, but to save people some time, you can get the pdf version at:

oh dear, I’m a little seasick from trying to read the Quibbler. I think that explains a lot about Luna, actually.

says:

The ad for Aberforth & Filch was hilarious!!!
= D

says:

wow…i cant even read it…the print is too small…how do i make it bigger???

says:

Hi-you can enlarge it by clicking on the 1:1 button at the top-or if you don’t like the flash version, you can download a pdf version by clicking on the pdf link in the text right below the picture at http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/fun/quibbler .

Choose either version, depending on what speed your computer system runs and what you feel comfortable with. The pdf’s will probably be easier to read if your system is older or slower, or if you have a smaller monitor.

says:

Last issue of The Quibbler was much better. It was in PDF format so I could save and print it so I could actually read it. They need to go back to that format. It’s very annoying having to read it the way it is.

says:

Lisa, this issue of the Quibbler IS in PDF format. Both formats are easily available

says:

Couldn’t we have a version that you could print out? It would be a lot handier..

says:

Marjory, There is a PDF version of the Quibbler that can be printed out. Wordsaremagic has kindly provided the link several posts above yours. The direct link can be found here as well: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/static_downloads/quibbler20080711/Quibbler20080711.pdf
